not really - cos the game is different now

don;t forget that before he joined barca they had finished outside the top 4 for four seasons - they're now the best team in europe and brazil are the best team in the world. He has awesome consistency and has proved himself in two continents (unlike Pele) and without drugs (unlike Maradona). All three are different but in 10 years time, when Ronaldinho retires - there will be no debate imo.
